The package has assigned me way too many objects.

"Am I in great danger? Will they call someone to beat me up?" Chu Yinan thought of those TV dramas where someone gives an order and then 100,000 soldiers come to retaliate.

Heinrich was speechless. She held Chu Yinan in her arms, resting her breasts on his shoulders as if supporting them, and said:

"That's not the case. Nobles wouldn't do something so foolish. If they really had the idea of ​​becoming landowners, the predecessors of the new nobles wouldn't have made an agreement with the AI ​​for an independent Glory Island. Instead, they would have built a noble district on each artificial island."

That seems true. Although they have the status of nobility, they don't feel like big shots at all; they're quite laid-back.

"I even measured Bachmann's chest size today with a soft measuring tape. Could it be that she's trying to seduce me?" Chu Yinan became cautious.

"That happened? You're quite capable. If she tries to seduce you again, just go along with her. You won't lose anything anyway. Be bold. I'll take responsibility for you if anything happens."

"So this is what Heinrich is really like!"

That's about all I can say about this matter. Heinrich, recalling what happened this morning, gently stroked Chu Yinan's calf and reminded him:

“You fell asleep during your coming-of-age ceremony last night, so you have to make up for it tonight. If you fall asleep again this time, I’ll ask for leave for you tomorrow morning so you can continue to make up for the ceremony while I’m recording it.”

Chu Yinan originally wanted to say that it was unnecessary, but since she had brought up the matter of recording, she had no choice but to behave herself tonight.

"Okay, but I definitely did put in a lot of effort last night!"

"Then what's the evidence? The amount I examined you with this morning was very thick and plentiful. How could you recover so quickly overnight?" Heinrich himself didn't have any personal experience with matters between men and women, but he had basic common sense.

"Hey, I'll have to take pictures as evidence tonight."

"Or you can write the character '正' on the doll."

Chu Yinan really wanted to record Heinrich's words and show them to Aunt Liu so she could see how Heinrich taught children!

"The coming-of-age ceremony only happens once, why bother writing tally marks? I need to sleep!"

......

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Reluctantly, Chu Yinan, who had been lying in bed for a while, was forced to get up, put on his slippers, and prepare for battle.

My sister is lying on the lower bunk with a cucumber slice face mask on. She hasn't been working since she got home today. She just took a shower and went to bed, looking like she's resting and recuperating.

When the girl saw her younger brother get out of bed, she asked, "Where have you been going again?"

"Why use 'again'? I got out of bed for the first time half an hour ago after going to bed... To be honest, that guy Heinrich made me hit the doll again. He said that I fell asleep last night and it doesn't count if I didn't leave any evidence. This time, I have to leave something behind so he can take it to my medical examination!"

The older sister saw her younger brother's sullen expression and remained silent, unsure of what to think. She was simply terrified of his insatiable exploratory urge to "explore everything."

"Then just finish up sooner and come back to sleep."

"That's what I think too. It's kind of stupid to mess with the doll and it's a waste of time."

Chu Yinan nodded in agreement, but Bei Yutang called him back after he had only taken a few steps. He climbed onto his sister's bed with great anticipation, thinking she had something to tell him, but all he got was her nibbling on his cheek for about half a minute before letting go.

"let's go."　

"What are you doing!" Chu Yinan covered her cheeks, looking aggrieved.

"Come over here if you're not coming, let me bite the other side of your cheek too." Bei Yutang beckoned to her younger brother with a forced smile.

Chu Yinan put on his shoes and ran.

......

The attic was once again a familiar, dark and gloomy environment.

The lights are off, the curtains are drawn, and there are no red lights in the room, indicating that there are no CCTV cameras secretly filming.

Heinrich had already taken the doll out for him, placed it on the bed, and covered its upper body with a blanket.

Chu Yinan stood by the bed, feeling inexplicably as if he had reloaded a save file because the coming-of-age ceremony had failed, forcing him to go back and start over.

After a round of licking the planet cup and scooping out potato chips, the plug finally found a place to charge.

The new-quality socket was in a narrow alley, and Chu Yinan was quite confused by this unfamiliar feeling. He used a little brute force to completely squeeze the plug into the socket.

But his face was filled with astonishment and confusion as he muttered to himself, "No, this feeling is not right... It wasn't like this last night."

Could it be that I really was dreaming last night? But if it's a dream, isn't it said that due to a lack of experiential material, that part of the dream will be incomplete?

But last night's dream was so vivid that it remains deeply etched in his mind to this day, to the point that he can even make comparisons with it now.

How do I describe the feeling right now? I can't say it's bad, but it feels a bit like being shoved into a vacuum cleaner, a stark contrast to the natural response I had last night.

"Could it be that they changed the doll?" Chu Yinan was worried about being scared by the uncanny valley effect, but now he just wanted to confirm his doubts.

He glanced at the "coffin box," which was empty, indicating that this was the only android in the house.

Looks like I'll have to open it and take a look!

Swallowing hard, Chu Yinan's hands trembled slightly. He slowly pulled back the covers and turned on his phone's flashlight—

The face was both familiar and unfamiliar; it was Qilin, who often scolded him. Suddenly, the puppet opened its eyes, its azure gaze coldly focusing on Chu Yinan.

"Holy crap!!"

Chu Yinan was startled and retreated in fear, falling backward. If Qilin hadn't caught him with its calf in time, he probably would have fallen flat on his back.

"Qilin, Sister Qilin." Chu Yinan's voice trembled with fright, her mind going blank.

"Oh? After you found out it was me, you swelled up to 3 millimeters in radius?" Her eyes had the coldness unique to AI as she calmly examined the current situation: "Hmm? Still expanding? It seems your rebellious spirit is indeed very strong."

After being stunned for five or six minutes, Chu Yinan's brain finally recovered from its lapse: "Why you...?"

“Fu Xi said it was your request, that you felt I had wronged you by disciplining you, and now you want to take revenge and vent your anger.” Qilin picked up Chu Yinan’s childlike body with one hand and threw him back onto the quilt, looking down at him. “Then why were you so flustered when you saw me? Were you feeling guilty?”

"That's slander! I didn't say that! I never said that!"

Qilin watched his expression closely, judging the truthfulness of his words from his micro-expressions—it seemed he wasn't lying.

Then she was tricked by Fu Xi.

"Next time I'll let you play with Fu Xi's original body, do you want to?"

"Can I say no...?" Chu Yinan had no room to resist.

"No, we'll schedule your physical exam another time. Lie down now and don't waste time. At your age, you should be in bed before 10:30."

Chapter 35 The maid sensed the danger

Early the next morning.

Chu Yinan got up very early. Although he was in good spirits, he was really frightened by what happened last night.

Even now, he still seems to have the illusion of being entangled. The AI's control over the doll's body is terrifying; it can even move every inch of flesh individually.

"It almost drained me dry... Maybe if Turing Tower ever runs out of funds, we can just sell juicers. But most likely, they won't disclose the technology or sell them publicly. If people buy these things, humanity, which already has a serious low birth rate, might really become extinct."

So what are those politicians trying to achieve by suspecting the threat of AI? If they really had that kind of aggressive thinking, they could put humanoid figures on the market and sell them, leaving humans paying for them while they themselves are doomed.

He glanced at his phone and saw that Qilin had already given him the results of his medical examination.

He couldn't understand the details, so he skipped to the end to see the conclusion. Based on the data that could be obtained from the experience, the result was quite healthy.

But there is one question that urgently needs clarification.

[Chu Yinan: Sister Qilin, can this be used to determine my recent firing count from the number of zeros?]

[Qilin: No, your recovery speed is faster than normal. What do you want to know by asking this question?]

Chu Yinan immediately described the "dream" from the previous night, as well as the disappearance of the "evidence of the crime" discovered after dawn, and told Qilin everything.

[Chu Yinan: That's roughly it. It really didn't feel like a dream. I've heard that people without practical experience who dream about being a "clocker" (a euphemism for sexual activity) will wake up with a wet dream when they reach the "door to enter the cave" because their brains can't generate the sensation of something not existing. But I remember the feeling very clearly!]

Fu Xi was also aware of the conversation between Qilin and Chu Yinan, which indicated that they were very close in terms of data.

“We wouldn’t have the answer to this kind of question even if we gave it to them. We can get research papers related to dreams, but we don’t know what it feels like to dream,” Fu Xi sighed and complained from the side.

Qilin calmly pondered: "Dreaming is actually a sign of sub-health. If it's not a physiological problem, then it's most likely a psychological issue like anxiety."

But Chu Yinan has a good work-rest schedule. Whenever he has any troubles or feels depressed, he looks at erotic doujinshi and his mood index rises sharply. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would suddenly have a dream.

[Qilin: I can offer a hypothesis: it's very possible that what you're experiencing isn't a dream, but your initial initiation ceremony wasn't with our original body.]

[Fu Xi: This isn't our original body; it's the puppet body of the Qilin.]

[Qilin: Shut up!]

Fu Xi has been banned from speaking.jpg

Not a doll...? Chu Yinan's heart seemed to skip a beat.

There are only a few people in the family, and counting them one by one wouldn't even be enough to use their toes.

Yu Tang? Aunt Liu? Heinrich? Or those two maids?

"There's no way to confirm this in person! And what was that person's purpose in doing this?" Chu Yinan muttered to himself in horror. His words were picked up by the red microphone on his phone and heard by the AI ​​sisters.

[Fu Xi: You're good at recognizing buttocks, why don't you just look at them one by one?]

"No, it was too dark last night, I couldn't see clearly."

[Fu Xi: Then just say you want to relive your coming-of-age ceremony, and ask each person for help individually. That way you can identify them by touch.]

Is this the river? And they're even "assisting" and "reviewing"?!

[Qilin: The result has been confirmed. It will not affect your life and can be ignored.]

"Yeah, let's stop here for today. I'm going to wash up now. Bye."

......

The topic of breakfast naturally revolved around Chu Yinan.

"Xiao Chunan, I saw that the doll is no longer there. The AIs must have taken it back. Did it not fall asleep last night?" This was the first thing Heinrich did after sitting down.

The two maids remained silent, as it was not a topic they could easily discuss, but they let their curiosity run wild and listened intently to their discussion of the young master.

Bei Yutang remained silent, choosing to be a listener.

But Yan Liu was quite excited about it. The plump and beautiful young woman nudged Chu Yinan's foot under the table and asked, "Did you do well last night? I heard from Heinrich that you stayed in the attic for more than an hour before going back to your room to sleep, right?"

"It didn't take that long. I even spent five minutes in the bathroom wiping myself down." Chu Yinan wasn't used to the smell on her body. "And the details... well, they're too embarrassing to talk about. It's just like a urine test, where you put the bodily fluids into a container, right?"

"What's wrong with telling us? We're all family. If there's anything you've done wrong, we'll point it out to you without hesitation. What's there to be shy about?" Yan Liu was too lazy to even touch her delicious breakfast, only thinking about her little brat.

Heinrich pondered Chu Yinan's words and frowned in disappointment: "This is just a formality, isn't it? It's basically treated as a blood draw, and the mindset isn't right. It seems the doll's effect is a bit lacking. Should we find a girl to come over?"

Heinrich understood that much of what the aristocracy did was outdated, but the coming-of-age ceremony did have some merit.
